Abstract
A cellular communications system may include at least one base station selectively denying attempts to establish wireless communications links therewith, and wirelessly transmitting denial messages for denied attempts. The system may further include at least one mobile cellular communications device including a wireless transceiver and a controller cooperating therewith for attempting to establish a wireless communications link with the at least one base station having a quality of service (QoS) level associated therewith. If a denial message is received, the controller continues to attempt to establish the wireless communications link at a first attempt rate. Yet, if the wireless communications link cannot be established with the desired QoS level, and if no denial message is received, then the controller continues to attempt to establish the wireless communications link at a second attempt rate different than the first attempt rate.

34. A wireless communications system comprising:
-
at least one wireless base station configured to transmit a denial message for a denied attempt to establish a communications link therewith; and at least one mobile wireless communications device comprising a controller and at least one user input device connected thereto, said controller configured to attempt to establish a wireless communications link with said at least one wireless base station having a quality of service (QoS) level associated therewith using a first scan rate, and when the wireless communications link cannot be established with a desired QoS level and when no denial message is received then use a second scan rate different than the first scan rate, and increase at least one of the first and second scan rates in response to an access request to said at least one wireless base station via said at least one user input device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A mobile wireless communications device comprising:
a controller and at least one user input device connected thereto, said controller configured to attempt to establish a wireless communications link with at least one wireless base station having a quality of service (QoS) level associated therewith using a first scan rate, and when the wireless communications link cannot be established with a desired QoS level and when no denial message is received then use a second scan rate different than the first scan rate, and increase at least one of the first and second scan rates in response to an access request to the at least one wireless base station via said at least one user input device. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)

54. A method of operating a mobile wireless communications device comprising:
-
attempting to establish a wireless communications link with at least one wireless base station having a quality of service (QoS) level associated therewith using a first scan rate, and when the wireless communications link cannot be established with a desired QoS level and when no denial message is received then use a second scan rate different than the first scan rate; and increasing at least one of the first and second scan rates in response to an access request to the at least one wireless base station via at least one user input device. - View Dependent Claims (55, 56, 57, 58, 59)

60. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for causing a mobile wireless communications device to perform steps comprising:
-
attempting to establish a wireless communications link with at least one wireless base station having a quality of service (QoS) level associated therewith using a first scan rate, and when the wireless communications link cannot be established with a desired QoS level and when no denial message is received then use a second scan rate different than the first scan rate; and increasing at least one of the first and second scan rates in response to an access request to the at least one wireless base station via at least one user input device. - View Dependent Claims (61, 62, 63, 64)
